The Economics of Self Driving | How Money Works
The Economics of Self DrivingThe future is now! with AI being integrated into our lives for better or worse the overwhelming motivation of automation and machinist ascents is to save time money and lives.But does it?We can easily be biased in the human cost of innovation in the name of technological advancement other acquired industrial financial and behavioral changes needed to integrate autonomous vehicles worth it and for whom?Autonomous vehicles are not exactly what Back to the Future predicted but it's a good start EV's are cars that can drive themselves with varying degrees of human input which is classified on a zero to five spectrum.Level zero denotes no automation whatsoever level one is where minor steering and acceleration tasks are performed and level two is the likes of advanced cruise control and autopilot systems at this level the car can automatically take safety actions but the driver needs to stay alert at the wheel.Level three of automation still requires a human driver but more safety critical functions are taken by the car the system has control of functions such as speed steering and monitoring the environment.Under specific conditions the driver can be partially distracted such as swiping right or liking this video but the driver must be ready to intervene as and when the system requests this poses some potential dangers as the major tests of driving are transferred to or from the car itself level 4 cars are cars that can drive themselves almost all the time and anywhereMusic from Epidemic Sound#SelfDriving #Automation #HowMoneyWorksFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

How EVE Online's Massive Virtual Wars Are Financed - How Money Works | How Money Works
How EVE Online's Massive Virtual Wars Are Financed - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈eve online, (a massive multiplayer online spaceship game) is probably best know for two things.Making headlines about it’s massive in game conflicts involving tens of thousands of players and it’s incredibly realistic in game financial system which can make loosing a virtual spaceship just as consequential as loosing a phone or a car in the real world.Countless magazines, and even much more successful YouTube channels have talked about these two factors individually, but where I think they get really interesting is when they merge together.For a game about spaceships set 21,000 years in the future, EVE is surprisingly realistic, and that realism extends to these massive wars in the sense that they are expensive.
The in game currency called ISK has an approximate exchange rate of about $6 per billion in game isk. Although it must be mentioned that trading this in game currency directly back or forth for real life money is actually against the rules of the game for now at least and will get you banned.Even still, this shows that in game assets have a very tangible real world value on the grey market, so when you see headlines about trillions of ISK been lost in these epic battles it gives you an idea of just how expensive it can be to wage entire wars in EVE Online.But this all begs a bigger question…Who or what funds these wars?With a price tag of hundreds of thousands of real world dollars and nothing but virtual space pride in return, it doesn’t sound like a very good deal… Right?Well, it’s time to learn how space money works, if you enjoy this video please consider liking and subscribing for new video’s like this one made every week.Ok so there are three really interesting and unique ways these major wars have been funded over the past 2 decades that this game has existed. But let’s start with the most basic one.#EVEOnline #EconomyOfEVE #HowMoneyWorksMusic by Epidemic Sound & Eve Online Original SoundtrackSign Up Link (if you want to try out the game) - https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=ef33cafb-0aa2-4051-9f03-55dc800247c2(This link gives both you and I rewards in the game)Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Is The Federal Reserve Bank Profitable?! - How Money Works | How Money Works
Is The Federal Reserve Bank Profitable?! - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈The federal reserve bank has found itself as the center of attention in recent months, what with everything from, money printer Meme's to “the future of capitalism as we know” on the line, the fed has obviously been an incredibly influential entity.But it’s also something that most people really don’t know much about, or worse… think they know a lot about when they really don’t.But that’s ok because the federal reserve bank is a bank, so the best way to get to really get a good understanding of how it works is just to follow the money and answer a simple question, Is the reserve bank profitable?Now because I hate YouTube video’s than needlessly drag out a question to get their average watch time up the short answer is.. Yes, Massively Profitable, it’s actually the most profitable organization in the world after recently beating out Saudi Aramco.But don’t click away yet… For starters I need that average watch time too, but more importantly, finding out how money works to generate massive profits at the federal reserve bank will teach you a lot about how this almost mythical institution actually operates day to day.#FederalReserve #QE #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Music by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Is Investing in Wine Better than the Stock Market? | How Money Works
Is Investing in Wine Better than the Stock Market?Fine wines are one of the most sought after goods for those who enjoy the taste and class associated with them. With many wines, aging is one of the ways they continue to taste better and better. That means people are willing to pay more in the future for wines that age well.This has led to one of the most interesting forms of alternative investing, and even services have been created for collecting pricing data and coordinating the trading and exchange of investment wine.In March 2019, a wine auction at the world famous auction house, Christie’s was held for a variety of wines. During the auction, the most expensive sale was 12 bottles of wine from Burgundy, France for a little over $305,000. That is over $25,000 per bottle of wine. In 2011, the same case sold for between $97,000 and $116,000 in today’s dollars, marking an increase of over 126% over those 8 years. Overall, the auction seemed to be pretty successful with about 90% of all wines being sold.The rise in popularity of wines being bought from the secondary market has grown intensely from the year 2000 to about $4 billion in 2018. Although this is pretty insignificant if you compare it to total private equity investment activity of $800bn in 2018, $4Bn is still pretty significant.#WineInvesting #InvestInWine #HowMoneyWorksSources:
